From The Sun March 14-20, 1843

March 16: The propriety, nay, the necessity of having the houses of our city properly numbered, must be so obvious to every person, that any suggestion to the Council on the subject would seem to be superfluous.

March 17: This is the day -- St. Patrick's Day -- the 17th of March -- the day which Irishmen everywhere, whether on "the old sod" itself, or in any part of "the habitable globe," are wont to observe as a regular-built holyday.

March 14: Port Deposit, Md. -- The ice gorge of 1893 is a thing of the past, but will long live in the memory of many who witnessed it and suffered by it. The water, however, did not get as high this

time by ten feet as it did in 1877.

March 15: The electric cars were running on regular time yesterday between Waverly car stables and the Five Mile House on the York Road.

From The Sun March 14-20, 1943
